Pregnane X receptor(PXR)is the major regulator of xenobiotic metabolism.PXR itself is controlled by various signaling molecules including glucocorticoids.Moreover,negative feed-back regulation has been proposed at the...
Bacterial translocation(BT) has been impeccably implicated as a driving factor in the pathogenesis of a spectrum of chronic liver diseases(CLD). Scientific evidence accumulated over the last four decades has implied t...

The nuclear receptors pregnane X receptor(PXR) and constitutive androstane receptor(CAR) were cloned and/or established as xenobiotic receptors in 1998.Due to their activities in the transcriptional regulation of phas...

Objective:To investigate the distribution of pathogens and drug resistance in bile and the association between the pregane X receptor(PXR) gene polymorphisms,traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) syndromes and the risk of...
Human pregnane X receptor (PXR) is of vital importance in pharmaceutical and exogenous compound metabolism within the body. This provides strong motivation for investigating this orphan receptor’s activation by vario...

The aim of current study was to investigate the chemical components of the aerial part of Reineckia carnea,collected in Yunnan Province of China.Repeated column chromatography(CC)separations were performed to isolat...
To search for pharmacologically active constituents of folk medicine, a new pregnane, 2α,3α,15β-trihydroxy-20(S)-tigloyl-pregnane (compound 1), and nine known compounds, geranylgeraniol (compound 2), β-dauco...
Pregnane and Xenobiotic Receptor (PXR; or Steroid and Xenobiotic Receptor, SXR), a new member of the nuclear receptor superfamily, is thought to modulate a network of genes that are involved in xenobiotic metabolism a...
